Poisoned
Carnegie medal-winning Jennifer Donnelly gives a stunning feminist makeover to the fairy tale of Snow White
Carnegie medal-winning Jennifer Donnelly gives a stunning feminist makeover to the fairy tale of Snow White
Beautiful Sophie, with lips as red as blood, skin as pale as snow, and hair as dark as night, is about to come of age and inherit her father's throne. But Sophie's stepmother wants rid of her—beautiful she may be, but too weak and foolish to reign. And Sophie believes her, as she believes all the things that have been said about her—all the poisonous words people use to keep girls like her from becoming too powerful, too strong.
When the huntsman carries out his orders of killing Sophie, she finds a fire burning inside her that will not be extinguished, and sets off to reclaim what was taken from her.
Jennifer Donnelly turns her feminist eye to this most delicious of fairy tales and shows Snow White as she's never been seen before.
